She’ll be giving Helen Thomas a run for her money... both inside and out.
And clearly the worst dressed.
Very telling.
She attended the meeting to be told some of what is being accomplished by the GCC adults to rid Syria of Assad and to contain Iran.
The missile shield piece is merely an aside to the real accomplishments at the gathering.
Good point.
Well the Gulf States are probably the only ones that actually pay close to "sticker" for US weaponry. Something Pakistan & Egypt don't do. But that's a side issue. So much for moving away from dependence on Gulf oil!
Obama is always talking about "energy independence" which is a euphamism for de-leveraging ourselves from Middle East petroleum. Well, this puts the lie to that. He won't let us drill off the US coast or on US public lands, but he will put a multi-billion dollar missile defense system in the Persian Gulf to bolster our already multi-billion dollar commitment to defend the region (against Iran).
Obama talks about US consumers getting ripped off twice -- once at the pump and once in US Oil Subsidies. I don't buy the argument, but a very large hidden price of US Oil to the taxpayer is the cost to keep the Gulf Oil flowing. And we're not the only country that benefits.
She is the only one in the photo wearing pants!
